Device Story
Ketac Universal Aplicap is a radiopaque glass ionomer restorative material delivered in capsules for bulk filling applications. It is used by dentists in clinical settings to restore tooth structure. The material consists of polyacrylic acid, oxide glass chemicals, water, and tartaric acid. It functions as a glass polyalkenoate cement that releases fluoride ions. Unlike some predicate devices, it does not require the use of a conditioner or a surface coat. The device is applied directly to the prepared tooth cavity. The hardened material provides structural support for restorations, core build-ups, or fissure sealing, potentially benefiting the patient by restoring tooth function and preventing further decay through fluoride release.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. In vitro studies compared consistency, solubility, dimensional change, working/setting times, bonding strength (enamel/dentin), fluoride release, compressive strength, 3-point flexural strength, and surface hardness against the predicate. Biocompatibility was assessed per ISO 10993 and ISO 7405 standards. Clinical literature was reviewed to support the sufficiency of bonding strength on dentin.
Technological Characteristics
Glass polyalkenoate cement; ingredients: polyacrylic acid, oxide glass, water, tartaric acid. Delivered in capsules. Compliant with ISO 9917-1:2007. Radiopaque. No conditioner or coat required. Mechanical properties: compressive strength >100 MPa.
Indications for Use
Indicated for dental patients requiring restorative procedures including linings for composite fillings, core build-ups, primary tooth fillings, stress-bearing Class I and II restorations (with specific support requirements), cervical fillings, temporary fillings, and fissure sealing.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
Zinc oxide-eugenol is a device composed of zinc oxide-eugenol intended to serve as a temporary tooth filling or as a base cement to affix a temporary tooth filling, to affix dental devices such as crowns or bridges, or to be applied to a tooth to protect the tooth pulp. Dental cement other than zinc oxide-eugenol is a device composed of various materials other than zinc oxide-eugenol intended to serve as a temporary tooth filling or as a base cement to affix a temporary tooth filling, to affix dental devices such as crowns or bridges, or to be applied to a tooth to protect the tooth pulp.

| Fissure sealing | - | Indication is not separately claimed<br>by GC. The indication fissure sealing<br>is comparable with a small Class I<br>indication. |
Table Comparison of indications
Despite comparable mechanical properties between the two products 3M Deutschland GmbH uses a more restrictive and conservative range for Ketac Universal Aplicap for stress bearing Class I and Class II indications in comparison to GC America for Equia. The restriction to recommend additional support from outside the filling area will give additional support to the filling and therefore reduce the stress.
The indications for use in temporary filling, Class V restorations and core build-ups are equivalent for Ketac Universal Aplicap and the predicate device but with a slightly different wording.
Additional comments to Indication subset not claimed by GC
- Linings for single- and multiple-surface composite fillings .
- . Fissure sealing
- . Primary tooth fillings
All three indications are subsets of the listed indications in table Comparison of indications. Linings for single-surface and multiple-surface composite fillings are only a thin layer under a protective composite filling material. Therefore, linings can be considered as small Class I/ Class II restorations with reduced mechanical performance requirements.
The indication for use in fissure sealing is comparable with a small Class I indication. The indication for use in primary tooth fillings emphasizes that the material is suitable for use in children.
These subset indications claimed for Ketac Universal Aplicap are not claimed by GC but don't influence the safety and efficacy of the device Ketac Universal Aplicap because the mechanical requirements for the material are fully covered by the other indications listed in the table Comparison of indications.
{6}------------------------------------------------
In summary, it can be stated that all listed indications of Ketac Universal Aplicap are equivalent to the predicate device Equia with no new or increased indication.

Table Comparison of essential ingredients and technology
Ketac Universal Aplicap and Equia are glass polyalkenoate cements compliant with ISO 9917-1: 2007 delivered in capsules. The essential ingredients of both products are polyacrylic acid, oxide glass chemicals, water, and tartaric acid. The main difference in the application of Ketac Universal Aplicap to the predicate device Equia is that for Ketac Universal Aplicap neither a coat nor the use of conditioner is required. It has been shown that the use of a coat does not increase the surface hardness of Ketac Universal Aplicap. Further it has been demonstrated that a conditioner does not increase the bonding strength. In Summary, both products are glass polyalkenoate cements with similar composition and technology. Additional coating or conditioning steps did not lead to superior properties (surface hardness, adhesion) for Ketac Universal Aplicap.
In vitro testing was conducted to examine consistency, maximum solubility, dimensional change, working and setting time, bonding strength, fluoride release, compressive strength, 3-point flexural strength, and surface hardness comparing the performance of Ketac Universal Aplicap to Equia.

Table Comparison of physical and mechanical properties
:
:
{9}------------------------------------------------
In case of dimensional change, 3-point flexural strength and bonding strength to enamel the values for both devices are nearly identical. The adhesion of Equia on dentin is higher compared to Ketac Universal Aplicap. However, a clinical literature review showed that a performance in the range of Ketac Universal Aplicap are clinically sufficient. With respect to fluoride release Equia shows a higher rate in the first month and a comparable rate to Ketac Universal Aplicap thereafter. With respect to consistency, working time and setting time these properties show slightly differences depending on the preferences of the dentist. Both materials have a solubility on a low level that does not effect biocompatibility. The compressive strength (according in-house method) and the surface hardness of Ketac Universal Aplicap exhibited higher values than the predicate device Equia which should lead to higher longevity of the restoration.
#### Biocompatibility
The biocompatibility assessment for this product was conducted in accordance with the following quidance:
1) Testing guidelines outlined in the FDA General Program Memorandum G95. 2) ISO 10993-1:2009(E) Biological evaluation of medical devices – Part 1: Evaluation and testing within a risk management process; in addition, relevant detailed guidance in ISO Standards 10993-3:2014 (Tests for genotoxicity, carcinogenicity and reproductive toxicity), 10993-5:2009 (Tests for in vitro cytotoxicity), 10993-10:2010 (Tests for irritation and skin sensitization); and 10993-11:2006 (Tests for systemic toxicity) was considered; 3) ISO 7405:2008 / Amd 1:2013 Dentistry-- Evaluation of Biocompatibility of Medical Devices in Dentistry; and
4) Japan: PFSB/ELD/OMDE Notification No. 0301-1 Mar. 1, 2012; (as translated by 3M Health Care Japan, August 6, 2012).
The biocompatibility of Ketac Universal Aplicap has been assessed by a board-certified toxicologist according to recommendations in FDA guidance and internationally recognized standards for medical and dental devices. The conclusion of the assessment is that Ketac Universal Aplicap is safe for its intended use.
#### Conclusion
Comparisons of indications for use, essential ingredients, technology, and physical and mechanical properties showed that Ketac Universal Aplicap is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
